Study shows Americans feel pressured to work while sick
The average American spends about 84 hours a year working while under the weather, according to new research.
The survey of 2,000 general population Americans, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Nectar Allergy, revealed that the average person works 10 and a half days per year while feeling under the weather, on average — and 47% admit they’d rather “power through” than take a sick day.
For some, they may be more inclined to “power through,” as they’re worried others may think they’re “dramatic” when they’re feeling unwell (34%).
Forty-eight percent of respondents remember a negative comment someone else made about how frequently they feel unwell, either due to allergies or other conditions and illnesses and over a quarter of those surveyed (26%) said in their friend group or family, they feel like they’re the person who is most often sick or feeling unwell.
